Trump uses irrelevant COVID charts to defend the indefensible:

Swan: “Oh, you’re doing death as a proportion of cases. I’m talking about death as a proportion of population. That’s where the U.S. is really bad. Much worse than South Korea, Germany, etc.”

Trump: “You can’t do that.”

Swan: “Why can’t I do that?”

So someone told him that seniors vote by mail in large numbers in Florida, so he says mail-in voting is perfectly safe in that state. But not in other states, where it's full of fraud.

Trump is like that drunk-idiot-uncle at a family party, who says all kinds of outrageous and offensive stuff, except Trump isn't drunk.

The Republican Florida Governor DeathSantis will do anything for Trump. ANYTHING.

The illiterate fracking moron didn't know how to pronounce "Yosemite" and pronounced "yo-Semite."

If he wasn't born into wealth and been protected from the consequences of his actions for his entire adult life, he'd be a babbling homeless guy pushing a shopping cart.

If I could ask God one question it would be how did an immoral criminal psychopath ascend to the US presidency and con so many into supporting, defending and protecting him?

I suspect the answer includes the word Satan.

And it's not just seniors in Florida. Republicans have always had an advantage in mail-in voting -- but he's too stupid to actually know that. Many GOP strategists are afraid he might scare GOP voters into NOT voting by mail, while Democrats increase both mail-in voting and in-person voting.

This. Not to turn this down a path, but Trump and 2020 are plenty of evidence to indicate there isn't one.

Trump, as president, is attributable to his idiot voters. They were presented with a sh!+ sandwich, by Trump; that sandwich was smothered in Ranch sauce; they were told it would taste good--because Trump said so.

Look at them, now.

My father has early onset dementia. It got to a point where he couldn't live on his own, so I lived with him for two months while we got everything set up to move him to an assisted living facility. He was okay more often than not, but the times when he wasn't were exactly why I was there. One night I woke up at around 2 and found him sitting at the dining room table. He was going through a stack of years old documents. I asked him what he was doing and ended up sitting next to him as he pointed to random figures on each page, reading them to me with no context whatsoever but with conviction like he was teaching me something.

That's what came to mind watching Trump.

The most frightening thing is he may be reelected president.

Trump is Satan's Behemoth

Trump is getting more desperate by the day. He thinks because he says it he can do it.

Trump vows to sue Nevada to block universal mail-in ballots

Quote:

Trump, who has repeatedly claimed without evidence that voting by mail will lead to rampant fraud, wrote on Twitter the legislation approved on Sunday was an “illegal late night coup” and told reporters his administration was already preparing a lawsuit.

That's it? Seriously?

Is that host the Hannity of Australia or something? What an unprofessional buffoon. The comments are full of disgruntled BernieBros and Trumpies. They can both hope Biden will fall on his face (just like they hoped for that last debate with Bernie), but it won't happen.

Krish Kobach loses the primary in Kansas. Had he won, the Democrats would have had a more realistic shot to take that Senate seat. He had already lost to a Democrat two years ago in the race for governor.

I still don't believe he knew that test is typically used to check for early signs of dementia.

He's a combination of the worst qualities of Palin, Quayle, Dubya, Cheney, Stone, Rove, and Nixon when you think about it. I'm just sticking to the American political creeps, not the Euro fascists he emulates. But even Dan Quayle and W wouldn't bleep up Yosemite.

It also means that he would accidentally pronounce Vegemite the right way. He wouldn't know how to pronounce it either, and he's probably never heard of it either, but he would accidentally speak it the right way.

I watched a few minutes of his press briefing. Setting everything else aside for a second, he can't even appear presidential. The suit doesn't fit him, he walks like a caveman, he has no posture, his face is a mess, etc. And being overweight has little to do with it. He is just incapable of looking dignified.

And millions of people look at that and say: yep, that's my president.

Even if the point wasn't just to get Trump out of there no matter who the hell was running against him, having a guy who sounds like Joe (even a dottering old fool as the Rs say) -- it was all good when Reagan was that guy and now they're just totally aghast at the Dems trying it. Hypocrites as usual. And bleep em anyway.

Biden is a probable 1-termer IIIIIIIIIIIF he wins. With all the sh Trump is doing to mess up this election, I'm not extremely faithful about those polls saying Biden is so far ahead that it's a done deal. Kind of a fool me twice feeling. However, he's going to have a capable VP judging by the list of candidates that have been aired this week. Any of them can handle the job. That's a much better scenario than 4 more years of chaos and destruction by Trump. And he is probably running with Pence again. Which would you rather have, that grabbastic Chreeischin as Pres or someone like Bass or Harris? We're in safe hands with Biden no matter what happens. But the Repubs are pulling the same thing they did with Hillary when they secured that golden egg that was her stumbling tape. And they didn't have any of this crap to say about Reagan who was probably already in the early stages of Alzheimer's by or during his 2nd term. He left office in 89 and wrote a letter to the public stating his exit from public life due to his condition in 94.

I saw nothing whatsoever that is alarming there. It's not like he's a poor confused old man who doesn't know where he is. He immediately corrected himself. So he misspoke for a moment; means nothing to me. As for what he said about trusting the scientists, yeah, that's exactly what we should do, and I got what he said. He's saying, yes, I'm a politician, but I'm going by the scientists, so if you're listening to me, it's only because you should be listening to the scientists. In other words, he's not going to go off on his own and put his head in the sand.

Talk about grasping at straws! I mean, is Biden the sharpest person the Democrats could have put up? No, but he is what the primaries produced, and produced fairly, and what he lacks in sharpness he makes up for in a lot of other areas. I believe he's a good man and at this moment in time, losing is not an option. So he's not the perfect candidate. Whatever. Just get him elected and let's start to fix this mess, and hopefully he passes the baton to another Democratic president in 2024.
